FRESS:

I organized this month's office happy hour here. Normally the deals extend only briefly until 6, but they agreed to extend it until 7 for our group. The drink specials are definitely what make this place worth going to after work. Yuengling is $2.50, well drinks are $4, mojitos $6, and half pitchers of a pretty decent sangria are $10 and serve about 3 glasses. They took the time to muddle the fruit for the sangria. The bartender chick with really long hair was sweet and Guillermo and his friend were also fun to chat with. The tapas menu is a little pricey for the portions. I shared a $10 shrimp in green sauce which came with a few pieces of nice garlic bread. Though there weren't enough shrimp, they were surprisingly fresh and in a very tasty garlicy sauce. I think to get good service here you need to chat it up with the staff. They might not realize they are a dive, but its loveable if you embrace it for the divey tapas bar that it is.

I am so good at eating!

Yes, another jew girl with a food blog. I have been eating and writing about it for as long as I can remember. I started this little blog about where I eat and drink around NYC (and now Philly!) to entertain my mom, dad, sister, and a few close friends... but if you enjoy it too, well that just warms my heart.Contact me at fressagirl@gmail.com

P.S. I love comments!

Update (July 2012) Working on posting the cheap eats I make in my kitchen and other cheap yet classy things. Read my lunch reviews at Midtown Lunch Philadelphia.
